Chapter 31 - Lu Yong And Lu Yuan

Name:Life of a Villain Author:REaper
Andy was taken aback when he saw the figure standing opposite him as soon as he opened the door. In front of him stood a middle-aged man in a gleaming red robe, who appeared to be in his thirties and had his silver hair tied back. He looked at Andy with a slight smile on his face.

The man standing at the door was Lu Yong, patriarch of the Lu Family and father of Lu An. And as soon as he saw Andy open the door, he clasped his hand and said, "Sorry for disturbing you at this time, Young Master Andy, but the event at the mountains ended just now, and I could not meet you when you left the stage,"

He still had a smile on his face as he stared at the masked young man in front of him.

"Oh, but who are you?" Andy replied while maintaining his gaze on the man in front of him.

Even though he had a calm expression on his face, his heart was turbulent with emotions.

He was affected by Lu An's memories after they merged with him. Lu An wished that his father, whom he considered as a role model, would recognize him. But the man who was supposed to be his father, on the other hand, never looked at him.

And now the same man stood in front of him, a smile on his face and his hands clasped.

When he heard the response, Lu Yong's smile stiffened, but he kept the smile and said, "Please accept my apologies for failing to introduce myself. I'm the patriarch of the Lu family, Lu Yong. I'm sure you've heard of the Lu Family, right?"

Andy's lips curled into a slight smile. "Oh! So you're the patriarch of the Lu family. Hmm, I've heard things about the Lu Family,"

"Really! that's a terrific thing," Lu Yong said with a smile. "We, the Lu family, have a very well-deserved reputation on the continent, and you should know many of your senior brothers and sisters are from the Lu family."

"Oh! That was something I was unaware of. But I heard a rumor about your son Lu An, who died after falling off a cliff, and you even received compensation for his death. Anyway, leave that alone and come inside, please." Andy said as his blue eyes shifted from the man in front of him to the figure behind Lu Yong. Lu Yuan, Lu An's elder brother. He gave them a quick glance before turning to enter the courtyard.

Lu Yong's face became strange, as if someone had poked his heart with a sharp needle, and his eyes were drawn to Andy's departing figure. He had a distinct impression that he had seen that man somewhere before. But couldn't point out where, while his gaze was fixed on Andy, he heard a voice whisper to him, "Father, I think we should leave. You don't have to be concerned about the fruit. He's going to enter the realm. I'm sure I'll be able to handle it."

But as soon as he heard those words, a fear struck Lu Yong's heart, and he spun his face and glared at Lu Yuan. "Don't speak nonsense," Lu Yong's words echoed in Lu Yuan's head. When he saw those eyes, Lu Yuan rooted to the spot. This was the first time his father had scolded him.

Lu Yong took a deep breath as he entered the courtyard. While Lu Yuan gulped, an icy glint passed through his eyes as his gaze shifted to Andy's figure.

--------------------------------

Andy's steps came to a halt as he frowned, and he turned around to see Lu Yuan staring at him with cold eyes. Andy was taken aback for a moment before his lips curled into a smile as he turned to go inside his room.

---------------------------------

Lu Yong's gaze was drawn to the destroyed wooden dummy as soon as he entered the courtyard. His steps unconsciously changed direction towards it. As he stood in front of the dummy, his gaze was attracted to the area where the dummy had been sliced; unconsciously, his fingers ran through the area which was sliced perfectly, but he felt a twinge of pain in his fingers. He quickly pulled his hands back, his gaze drawn to the blood dripping from his fingers.

He frowned as he rubbed his fingers, then his eyes were drawn to the wooden sword on the ground, which was quite a distance away. His face was drained of color as he mumbled, "Intent?"

He shook his head and hurried towards Andy's room.

------------------------------------

Large and luxurious couches were placed inside a large hall, while the entire room was decorated with expensive curtains and a large chandelier hung on the roof, which lit up the room dimly.

Andy leaned back on one of the couch, one leg crossed over the other, his eyes closed.

Suddenly, his ears picked up the sound of rushing footsteps approaching the room. His eyes narrowed slightly as he saw Lu Yong enter the room, followed by Lu Yuan.

"Please take a seat." Andy sat up straight and pointed to the opposite couch, his gaze fixed on Lu Yong.

Lu Yong sat across from Andy, his eyes fixed on the masked, silver-haired young man before him. Various emotions raged inside his heart, but he cleared his throat and said, "There is a reason I came here to look for you at this time."

"Please say," Andy's soft voice reached his ears.

"I'm in desperate need of rainbow fruit. Do you have any extras, if you don't mind?" As he glanced at the man in front of him, Lu Yong almost pleaded,

"Oh! Even if I did, why should I give it to you?" Andy smirked and asked, his gaze fixed on the man in front of him.

But then a loud yell from Lu Yuan echoed through the hall.

"YOU DARE! WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? HOW DARE YOU SPEAK TO MY FATHER LIKE THAT, YO.."

But Lu Yong stood up and slapped Lu Yuan in the middle of his words. He rubbed his cheeks where his father had slapped him, his shocked eyes were fixed on his father.

"Fool," Lu Yong mumbled as he turned around and clasped his hands. "I apologize for my son. Please consider my request. I am willing to do whatever you demand."

"Anything?" Andy smirked and asked.

"Yes, anything," Lu Yong replied with determined eyes.

"I heard that this man was engaged to a girl.. I want that girl," Andy said, while his gaze fixed on Lu Yuan.
